0.92

What issue are you seeing?
I think I saw the error message multiple times and then disappearing.
eventually, this message stayed, until codex jumped back into prompting mode:
■ stream disconnected before completion: Rate limit reached for gpt-5.2-codex in organization org-ziNVwafmVlt0WSvipZNE6FbD on tokens per min (TPM): Limit 500000, Used 455052, Requested 65637.

the agent fortunately able to continue once I tryed "please continue" but it was stuck, waiting for a new prompt during that time eitherway...
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019c0552-ad93-7022-b578-38b7abac17ac
- Use the codex api
- Use the api a lot as a new user -> rate limit applies
- codex crashes the current agent loop
What is the expected behavior?
codex throttles up/down automatically when it encounters api rate limits.
